Lucas Moura was asked by a concerned Twitter fan about the possibility of Neymar joining PSG, and the footballer replied with a thinking-face emoji to perfectly describe the winger’s transfer situation.

However, Gerard Pique claimed on Twitter last Sunday that his Brazilian colleague won’t depart Catalonia any time soon, sparking speculations that an agreement may have been reached to tie the player down in Spain.

Pigue said he’d understand if his teammate wanted to leave out of a desire to have a team built around him.

“It was a personal opinion,” Pique said after posting a picture which quickly went viral on Twitter. “My desire is for him to stay, so I uploaded the photo.

“The one that has to communicate if he stays or not at the end of the day is Neymar.

“Anyway, I would understand if he went to another team if what he wants is to be a leader, since in Barcelona he has coincided with the best ever, Leo Messi.”

Neymar, 25, joined Barcelona from his former Brazilian club side Santos in 2013.

“He’s a hugely important player for us, more than just his quality as a soccer player, he has huge value, his personal qualities within the group,” Javier Mascherano, Argentina international footballer and Barca midfielder said.
